Make your vote pro-life
Editor:
The abundance of letters appearing in The Daily Record bashing George Bush prompts me to write to the editor.
We are forgetting or purposely omitting the fact that President George W. Bush is pro-life. Kerry has voted against all pro-life legislation as well as the marriage act. We save baby seals and protect endangered species. But our youth are our most natural resource and we are killing them by the thousands, daily, by abortion. They are the endangered species.
How can we ask God's blessing on America when we throw God's greatest gift, life, back in His face?
Vote pro-life.

Vote carries responsibility
Editor:
The right or the privilege to vote also includes a responsibility to study the issues and the candidates so we can determine the persons and issues that deserve our support.
We are all being bombarded by focus groups (secular and religious), political parties and candidates that are willing to tell us what or who to vote for. Any organization that tell us who or what to vote for has the potential for spinning the truth in order to convince us that their issues or candidates are deserving of our support.
Please do not allow any organization or individual to hijack our precious vote by assuming that we are not capable of assimilating information and then make a determination of the issues and candidates we choose to support!

Feeling less safe now
Editor:
It's good that you tell about our military personnel who try to be helpful while serving in Iraq like Staff Sgt. Shannon Riddick, front page Sept. 24.
We started out with good intentions. Some Iraqis are thankful for Americans there.
But our occupation also creates a groundswell of resentment that spawns more terrorists than before 9/11.
Sorry but I feel less safe from terrorists now than before our Iraq venture. Is going in there with guns just shooting ourselves in the foot?

Prank sick entertainment
Editor:
I'm writing this in hopes that the parents of two young boys may consider this an alert to what your children may be doing after dark. These boys were probably young teens or pre-teens.
On Tuesday, Sept. 21, at about 9:15 p.m., I was driving west on Hutton Road between Geyers Chapel Road and Roberts Lane when I slammed on my brakes for an adorable white kitten crossing right in front of me. These two boys were at the side of the road and had put the kitten down and shooed it across the road in front of me. Fortunately, I think I missed hitting it.
As far as I'm concerned this is sick entertainment, and perhaps these two young men could use some help.
